“Last night, in general, the Democratic Party was very disrespectful,” McNabb said in reference to the party members who carried pink during the joint session of the Congress.
“And they did not defend any of the guests. They did not defend Dj Daniel, who is the young man who survived brain cancer. They did not defend Laken Riley’s family, whose daughter literally suffered a traumatic death that should never have happened. And any other guest who was there had some kind of powerful history, and did not applaud for any other.”
